"A friend of mine who is an Imax projectionist told me they received a new soundtrack for the Dark Knight Rises prologue," Collider quotes its source as saying. "They've gone in and lowered the background noise of the plane and other things, thus making Bane's dialogue clearer and more understandable. He asked some people after they left the movie if they could understand Bane and they all said they had no issue understanding him, and were excited for the movie."

Has anyone out there seen the tweaked prologue over the past few days, and was it any more audible? I'm told the web-leaked version is rather easier to understand, but it would be nice to think that by the time TDKR rolls around in July we'll be able to absorb the full impact of the opening without having read a transcript.
